According to the Lambada Songfacts, this song sold over 5 million copies in 1989, reached #1 on eleven different charts and was the best selling single in Europe that year. In France, where it topped the chart for 12 weeks and sold almost 2 million copies, the single was the #1 on the year-end list. Due to its huge success outside Brazil, "Lambada" was also recorded by Kaoma in English and Spanish.

I utterly hate 'Lambada' because when it came out back in 89' we had to dance to this song at kindergarten summer festival, 'ironically' dressed as penguins standing on a paper-made-iceberg while the sun was burning down...

Rule of music : When you hear a modern song with good rhythm and melody, it must've been sampled

Its so touching for me when i see a love of children or middle agers in song clips, films or anywhere else. It is so cute, i start to feel the tenderness. It for some reason makes me very emotional and gives me the feeling of happines for them

The great Brazilian musical success came only after the Kaoma group successfully launched it in 1989 in Europe and other continents. Adapted to the rhythm with a Caribbean tone, the song came from the Bolivian song "Crying It's Gone." Kaoma singer Loalwa Braz was found dead in a charred car in 2017 in another sad case of criminal violence in Brazil.

This song is immortalized.
